CFW Walther Was Always Trashing Other Lutherans for Opposing His Calvinism

From: Graul, Karl. Distinctive Doctrines In Light of the Word of God. Columbus, Ohio: Lutheran Book Concern. 1897. LutheranLibrary.org

Concerning The Word

Remark: The difference between the Lutheran and Reformed confession begins already in the doctrine concerning the Word. The Reformed confession makes it a mere guide to eternal life; but the Lutheran confession, in accordance with the Scripture, a real means of grace, which not only shows where to get the treasure, but also imparts it; for it is a power unto salvation (Rom. 1:16), a seed of regeneration (1 Pet. 1:23), full of Spirit and life (John 6:63).



 We celebrated the 500th anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation, and all I got was a pair of sunglasses.
